Electoral reform coalition Bersih 2.0 finally got the RM65,000 post-rally clean-up bill but in a comedy of errors, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) officers sent it to the wrong address.

It would have been a quiet mistake, except that Urban Wellbeing, Housing, and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan drew attention to it by posting a series of tweets.

The minister, who is also BN’s strategic communications director, had tweeted yesterday that his officers had gone to the electoral watchdog’s office in Petaling Jaya to hand over the clean-up bill for Bersih 2.0’s 34-hour rally

However, despite having the right address, the officers - based on a photo tweeted by Abdul Rahman - had gone to the wrong house.

"Today my officers went to Bersih's registered office to deliver the RM65,000 clean-up bill. It's locked and unattended, Abdul Rahman tweeted.

He even mocked the condition of the building which he thought was the Bersih office.

"And this is the office of Bersih which doesn't look like ‘bersih’ (clean) at all," he posted, along with a photograph of a house which he said could use some sprucing up.

Bersih 2.0 activists were quick to point out that the photograph is not of their office.

"Wrong house lah! Don't insult the uncle who lives next door," Bersih advocacy officer Zoe Randhawa tweeted in reply.

Bersih secretariat manager Mandeep Singh then provided the minister with its office number.

"If Rahman's officers can't find the Bersih office, please call our office. I can guide them. Please don't get the wrong house again," Mandeep replied.

Will try again

Rahman Dahlan has not responded to their tweets, but had said that his officers would make another delivery attempt next week.

"We will try again next week to deliver the invoice of RM65,000 to Maria Chin Abdullah and Bersih. #payup!" he posted, using his Twitter handle @mpkotabelud.

Abdul Rahman has insisted that Bersih pay DBKL the cleaning bill, alleging that rally-goers had made a mess in downtown Kuala Lumpur and urinated in the open, a charge which the polls watchdog group denied.

The bill, he claims, does not include damages to public property.

Maria Chin Abdullah, the Bersih 2.0 chairperson, however has stated the coalition will not pay DBKL a single sen, and instead, will fight the claim in court.
